Post-match, Paul Heyman came out to cut a promo.

Kane remarked that being "Best in the World" might tip things more in his favor. Punk cracked that Kane was once the "Devil's Favorite Demon" and is now just "The Authority's Favorite Statistician."  Punk said Kane turned in his manhood with his mask, so odds don't matter because he's been best since day one.

Luke Harper and Erick Rowan defeated The Prime Time Players via pinfall.  The match lasted approximately one minute, with Harper and Rowan isolating Young in their corner.  Harper hit a huge boot kick to knick Titus from the apron, then followed up with a huge clothesline on Young to get the win.  Post-match, Bray Wyatt got in the ring, grabbed O'Neil and kissed him on the forehead before hitting Sister Abigail.  He got on the mic, saying he's going to defeat Daniel Bryan, then hurt him and change the world.  He said after Sunday they'll no longer deny him.  He started to say "Follow the..." but Daniel Bryan interrupted.  He told Bray to listen to the people, who started up a "Yes" chant.  Bryan said he fears not faint, he fears no reapers or burning with the saints.  He told Bray Sunday he won't be trapped in his prison of madness, but Bray will be trapped in his prison.  He told Bray he'll find out who the real monster is as the crowd chants "YES!" for him.

Kofi Kingston defeated Fandango via pinfall.  Pre-match, Kofi was shown in a PIP video box and talked up how he'll do whatever it takes to win the Rumble.

The team of Big E Langston, Goldust, Cody Rhodes & The Uso Brothers fought New Age Outlaws and The Shield to a no contest in a 10-man tag team match.  Late in the match, Cody hot-tagged Goldust and Road Dogg then tagged in.  Goldust started to clean house.  Goldust got ready to hit a finish, but Rollins came in to hit a flying knee.  The match started to really break down when Reigns speared Big E Langston.  The Usos cleaned all the heels from the ring, but Billy Gunn hit a rocker dropper on Jimmy.  Cody disaster kicked Billy, then Road Dogg slammed Cody.  Goldust tried for a quick rollup on Road Dogg, but The Shield all got in to break things up, causing interference and the match to end abruptly.

CM Punk came out to the ring for the final segment of the night.  He said he came out there because he's not a coward and doesn't need to have other people do his dirty week.  Punk said he could call out the Outlaws, Shield, Inlaws, Ultimate Warrior, Road Warrior - it doesn't matter.  He said The Authority will always do what they can to shut him up.  Punk said "The Authority" mainly refers to Triple H, a man who lucked into his job and uses it to further a personal agenda while hiding behind his wife and The Shield.

Shield made their ring entrance and New Age Outlaws followed.  All of them surrounded the ring, with Punk ready for a fight.  Next, Kane arrived out.  He told everyone to calm down and stop it.  He said this isn't what The Authority wants.  He told Punk his anger is misplaced, and his paranoia is getting the best of him.  He said Punk's in the Rumble because they want him to main event Mania.  Kane said he will make sure he is treated justly and given the respect he deserves.

Kane told Punk he has his word that this will happen.  Punk told him his word means nothing, since he's a 7-foot tall sellout and suckup.  Kane listened to a "you sold out chant" from the crowd, before ordering the five men "get him boys."  They surrounded the ring again, distracting Punk.  Kane snuck in the ring behind Punk and then hit a chokeslam on him.  The show closed out with Kane standing over Punk on the mat.

Raw Preview 10/15/12

Tonight's episode of Raw arrives just weeks ahead of the October Hell in a Cell 2012 Pay-Per-View and one week after a brutal match involving Vince McMahon, kendo sticks and an incident in the stands.  At the end of last week's show, CM Punk was given a huge ultimatum as he fled the ring after his match with Mr. McMahon: either face John Cena, or face Ryback in Hell in a Cell.  Punk was given until tonight's show to come up with which opponent he will face.  So will it be Cena or Ryback that Punk chooses?

Also on Raw, a #1 contender tag team is still to be decided to face Daniel Bryan and Kane at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View.  Last week saw the teams of Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara as well as Rhodes Scholars advance to the finals.  Both teams are worthy contenders, but only one can get the big victory.  Meanwhile, Bryan and Kane are continuing to work on trying to get along and put aside their anger management issues in the ring, and outside the ring.  Will Dr. Shelby have any more special therapy methods for the tag team champions?

The other major stories to wonder about heading into tonight's show include CM Punk's potential opponents at Hell in a Cell.  John Cena is currently recovering from surgery on his elbow and needs to be medically-cleared to compete at the Pay-Per-View.  Ryback has been tearing through the competition and has now crossed paths with the WWE champion several times.  Will Ryback make any further intentions known to the WWE champion on Monday's show?  Also, will John Cena make a live appearance either via satellite or in the ring?

Find out all the answers and catch the excitement of the latest Raw episode starting at 8PM EST on USA!

Raw Results from Indianapolis, IN:

Raw opened with highlights of the John Cena and CM Punk situation involving Vince McMahon at Money in the Bank. Punk won the championship after a GTS on Cena in his hometown of Chicago, shocking Vince McMahon. Rey Mysterio would win the WWE Championship in a tournament set up by Vince on Raw. Cena defeated Rey in a rematch later in the night to regain the title. However, CM Punk showed up at the end of Raw with two champions facing each other in the ring.

Michael Cole said for the first time in WWE history there are two legitimate WWE Champions. CM Punk's new theme music came on as one of the champs arrived out with his belt to show the audience. Michael Cole announced he and Lawler as commentators with "special guest" JR. Lawler said this is the Triple H era and Jim Ross is an employee again.

Punk yelled out "the champ is here" before hoisting up the belt. He sat down as a "CM Punk" chant started up. Punk said time for the big question, "Why did I come back?" He reminded fans that his contract would expire on July 17th, 2011, and said he struggled with the decision for a year. Punk said he loves his job but hates the people in charge, so he decided to speak his mind and try to make change happen. Punk said he caused just a little bit of change with a domino effect, by getting Vince relieved of his duties with WWE.

Punk brought up how Cena is parading around with a championship belt which is no different than the one the kid in the front row has. Punk said he has a championship and there's one fact, he holds the most important title in the world in his hands. Punk said that title shows he is the best professional wrestler the world has to offer, the one, the only WWE Champion. Just then, Triple H's theme music started up and out came the new COO.

Triple H said he re-signed CM Punk for one reason, it was good for business, just like bringing back JR and John Morrison. HHH said it's his job to give the fans what they want so he put his personal feelings aside and re-signed him. Punk asked what those feelings are, so HHH said he felt Punk was smug and ovverrated. Punk said it must be like looking in the mirror for Triple H. Punk said Vince let top notch guys like Batista, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar and others slip through. Punk said HHH couldn't afford for Punk to go anywhere else.

Triple H told Punk to tell everyone the truth about why he really re-signed. HHH said it's because Punk needs this platform to exist. HHH said without WWE his mic aka "the pipebomb" and him are meaningless. HHH told Punk he and Cena are both WWE Champions, and he'll fix that situation later on tonight. HHH was leaving the ring but Punk stopped him and said it's time to talk egos. He brought up how Hunter's ego had him telling people what to do throughout his career. Punk called Triple H a bully who looks to throw his weight around and push people. Punk told Triple H he likes to push back.

HHH got in Punk's face and said he could slap every tattoo off him right now, but he won't. He said he took the job for the fans and the job comes with certain rules. Triple H told Punk he strongly suggests he doesn't break those rules either. Punk taunted Triple H by playing with his tie and asked HHH what will happen if he breaks the rules, will HHH punch him in the face, "or does he have to ask his wife first?" Punk dropped the mic and left the ring with HHH shrugging it off and mockingly applauding him.

Backstage, Rey Mysterio was getting ready for a tag match. Someone stole his shirt, then John Morrison came flipping overhead and landed near Rey. Morrison tossed him the shirt and the two laughed about it.

Ziggler said he's more of a man than anyone in the arena and anyone back in the locker room. That brought Alex Riley out in a suit as well. Riley had a mic in hand and asked Dolph if he's such a man why does he always hide behind a woman, or in his case - Vickie Guerrero. Vickie brought up all of Dolph's title accomplishments, but Alex said "excuse me" and asked Dolph when the last time was he accomplished anything on his own. Riley told Ziggler if he wants to be a real man than drop Vickie. Riley asked Dolph if without Vickie he'll be exposed for what he really is "a bleach-blond, arrogant, fraud."

The results of the online WWE Poll about who is the true WWE Champion were 54% in favor of John Cena versus 46% for CM Punk.

WWE Chief Operating Officer, Triple H, arrived to the ring with his decision on the WWE Championship situation. Triple H was about to make his decision when he was interrupted by John Laurenitis the executive vice president of WWE talent relations.

Laurenitis said he took the job over from Jim Ross, so it's his job to manage talent and sign contracts. Laurenitis told HHH he's been part of the corporate structure for a very short time, but he's worked corporately with Mr. McMahon for over 10 years. Laurenitis says he knows how Vince would handle this situation, by stripping the WWE Championship from John Cena.

That brought John Cena out to the ring to weigh in on the discussion. Cena told Laurenitis he's been that "yes man" for 10 years to Vince McMahon, just like Punk mentioned before. Cena reminded him how he knocked his teeth out at Money in the Bank PPV when he tried to ring the bell and stop the match.

Laurenitis said his decision wasn't made because of Cena's unprofessional behavior but because Punk beat him. Cena said his favorite moment at MITB was punching Laurenitis in the face. Cena said it felt so good maybe he should do it right now. Triple H said "don't look at me, I don't have a problem with that." Laurenitis left the ring, so Cena talked to Triple H. HHH said he's not going to strip Cena of the title because his claim to the title is legit.

Triple H said he didn't receive a signed contract from Punk until Cena was defeating Rey Mysterio on Raw. He said it was then that Punk walked up with a signed contract and put it in his face saying "hit my music." CM Punk's new music hit and he came to the ring to get in the discussion.

Triple H finally got in between them. He said they'll settle this at Summerslam with a one-on-one match to decide who is the true undisputed WWE Champion. HHH left the ring with Punk and Cena facing each other still, each with their championship belts. Punk dropped his mic and held up his championship belt for the fans to see, so Cena dropped his mic and then presented his championship belt. They each posed with their belts on the corners of the rings as their music altered back and forth as well.
